Reflux baby - help!!!!

Hi ladies!!!! I am desperate, my ds has reflux and some days he is in so much pain it breaks my heart. We have been in and out of the pediatrician's office for the last three weeks, he started on Zantac - didn't help. Now he is on Prevacid - kinda helps he has good days and bad days now. I was hoping for some advice - things/remedies that have helped your lo through his/her reflux moments. I also would love a referral to a pediatrician or GI specialist if you have one that you think can help us. It's too hard to stand by and watch my baby suffer - if there is someway to help him - I'm willing to try!!! Thanks :)

You poor thing!! Our baby had reflux since he was born too so I know how horrible it can be. Luckily for him and us it all cleared up after starting him on Zantac as nothing else worked.

How old is your baby and what dosage of Zantac is s/he on? Did your doctor suggest increasing the dose to see if that helps? I know as my son got older and heavier the reflux signs would start to show again and we had to up the dose. He's now 9 months and is on 2ml twice a day.

I hope you find something that works soon!! My is a completely different child on the Zantac. Good luck.

Thank you sparkle - we stopped Zantac and our on Prevacid now. Hoping it starts working soon - I've heard it can take up to two weeks to start. I know what you are saying about a completely different baby - ours has good days and bad - and his quality of life is in just stark contrast when he's hurting to when he's not! That's why I want to help him get better all the time - so he can be his happy playful self!!! Thank you for the well wishes :) I'm glad your baby is happy/healthy.

Also I just remembered that you can give reflux babies very runny baby cereal, i.e. just dilute it with lots of breast milk/formula, and give it to them via a bottle so they have something more substantial in their stomachs. Maybe that's something you could talk to your pediatrician about if you haven't already.

The only thing that helped us was Zantac combined with a special formula (Neocate). It turned out my son had a cow's milk allergy and soy based formula was not working for him either. He still had reflux but much less severe till close to one year. We saw Dr. William Spivak on UES.
